Eric turned to Stella and asked, “Didja ever notice that some things are super useful in fiction, but completely useless in real life?”
“Like designated drivers?”
“God, no, why would you even say that? I’m talking about like X-Men powers and Teen Wolf, like how shooting lasers out of your eyes would be really impractical. Now I’m just super perturbed by your answer. “
“Geez, I’m sorry I said designated drivers,” Stella answered, peeling the label off her bottle.
“Okay.”
“What I meant to say was Mexicans.”
And that was the last time Eric used that particular online dating service.
